Look at the amp and watts. HF are around 400 watts and a better one well be around 700 + watts.
Keep in mind that Harbor Freight has two lines of power equipment, "Drillmaster" and "Chicago Electric". If you buy the cheaper Drillmaster stuff, it's a shot in the dark. Sometimes it will hold up and sometimes it will be trash in a month. The Chicago Electric stuff is generally much better built. Both go on sale from time to time.
